There was once a study conducted on the effects of surface temperatures on the development of various types of bacteria. Researchers found that playing surface temperatures of one hundred and artificial grass fifty degrees Fahrenheit for extended periods of time caused a significant increase in the number of bacteria which showed up in the test subjects’ colons. And, when those bacteria were found, they tended to proliferate rapidly – resulting in a rather unhealthy situation for the people who were regularly subjected to this high temperature. It’s clear from this study that excessive heating may be one of the causes of the increasing problem of harmful bacteria on Synthetic Turf. Another major concern that many people have related to the harmful effects of low levels of moisture on athletic fields. The football, and soccer in particular, rely upon natural grass because of the moisture that naturally exists in it. When synthetic fibers are used, however, that moisture is lost and with it, the natural grass within the field – and the life which it supports. In order to ensure that players remain healthy, this must be addressed as a significant issue. Finally, there are concerns about the dangers of playing surfaces that are not designed to support human contact. Artificial Turf Surfaces can be described as rougher than natural grass and have been known to cause more serious injuries to the less fortunate. Those injuries can range from minor sprains and bruises, to major muscle cramps and even fractures. Since most sports organizations require players to wear helmets, these types of injuries can easily be prevented. If you’re worried about the safety of the people playing on your playing surfaces, and the health and well being of your team – it’s time to invest in synthetic turf surfaces.
